All those magical herbs were for naught, fair Bonnie (Kat Graham). Alaric (Matt Davis) is way over the deep end, and we fear he’ll never return to his glorious, drunken self. May we add, sob! Things are escalated in Vampire Diaries Season 3, Episode 21, “Before Sunset” — and executive producer Julie Plec says “no one is safe” from the new vampire’s wrath.

Pretty much everyone we’ve seen turn into a vampire has gone out and killed someone shortly after their transformation. Add to that the fact that Alaric is on an unholy mission and may be getting some help from the other side (Esther and her controlling witch ways!), and it’s a recipe for a murder.

Do you think Alaric will take out someone we know and love? (We’ll leave out any innocent students who just wanted some extra credit, here.)
